Core Data Model Working Group

This SONet working group focuses on defining a core semantic data model for representing scientific observations and measurements

Overview

The primary goal of this working group is to define a common, unified, and extensible model for representing
scientific observations and measurements. This model serves as one of the the primary components for enabling data interoperability across data repositories and
systems via the SONet framework.

Two of the tasks assigned to this subgroup are to

Compare and
contrast the observation models used in current systems.

Collect
requirements for a common observations data model.

Another goal of this working group is to define best
practices for using the observations model to represent and exchange observational data.
